If you want automatic view, then you have to convert uuencode to MIME
by using emil (http://www.spinnaker.de/debian/#emil) and procmail with 
the following rules:

# 
# Try to convert UUENCODE to MIME
# 
:0
* Content-Type: text
{
        :0 fBw
        * ^begin [0-7][0-7[0-7]
        * ^end
        | formail -i Mime-Version | emil -G mime8_user
} 
:0
* !Content-Type:
{
        :0 fBw
        * ^begin [0-7][0-7][0-7]
        * ^end
        | emil -G mime8_user
}

If you want to decode already received mails, you may want to simply
pipe the mail into uudeview
(http://www.uni-frankfurt.de/~fp/uudeview/) with the following macro:

macro   index   \eu     "|uudeview -\n" "uudecode mail(s)"
macro   pager   \eu     "|uudeview -\n" "uudecode mail"
macro   attach  \eu     "|uudeview -\n" "uudecode attachment"

Now ESC u uudecodes the mail(s).
